Cal State is the latest public university system to increase tuition

The California State University system — the country’s largest public university system — will be raising its tuition by 6% a year for five straight years, starting in fall of 2024. That’ll be an overall increase of 33% when all is said and done.
And it means each of the nearly half-million students who attend its 23 campuses will need to find an additional $342 next fall.
CSU isn’t alone among state schools asking for more money: West Virginia University and Rutgers recently raised tuition, as well.
Cal State pointed out it’s only raised tuition once in the past twelve years. And even public universities have to deal with inflation.
